Moving To Jacksonville

Jacksonville Movers

Have you been thinking about moving to Jacksonville, Florida lately? If so, there’s a lot that you should do in order to prepare for your move. First of all, you should do the necessary research to learn as much about the Jacksonville area as you can. This will go a long way in helping you make your final decision. After all, it is vital that you identify whether or not Jacksonville is the right place for you and your family. Secondly, you should look into various moving companies in order to find the best team of movers for the job. Hiring the first moving company that you come across online may not be the best idea and we highly recommend looking into the background of any company you are considering and comparing their moving rates with other companies.

Today, Poseidon Moving and Storage will be telling you everything you need to know about the Jacksonville area, including some of the best reasons to move there. We’ll also be explaining why our team of movers is the best team for the job. Your move will be easier than you could have possibly imagined when working with our dedicated team of movers. Let’s get started!

Things You Should Know About Moving to Jacksonville, Florida

If you’re still trying to decide whether or not Jacksonville is the right place for you and your family, Poseidon Moving and Storage is here with the information you need to make your final decision. We have helped many customers make the move to Jacksonville, Florida in our over 20 years of experience as the nation’s best moving company and we’ve learned a lot about the area in that time. With a population of 926,371 as of 2020’s estimates and with many people choosing to move there each year, Jacksonville is a popular place to live. But why?

One of the best reasons to move to Jacksonville is found in its proximity to other cities. Located in northeastern Florida, Jacksonville isn’t very far from other major cities located in Georgia, Alabama, and Florida. Specific major cities that Jacksonville is located conveniently close to include Atlanta, Miami, Orlando, and Naples. You’ll never be far from all that these cities have to offer when living in Jacksonville.

Another great reason to move to Jacksonville is found in the fact that it is an area with plenty of jobs to offer. The cost of living in Jacksonville is below the national average and the unemployment rate in Florida is just 3.5 percent. For the entire state, Jacksonville is second in job growth, just behind the Orlando metro area. Upon moving to Jacksonville, you’ll find no shortage of jobs in major industries. Some of the top employers in Jacksonville include WinnDixie, Web.com, Fidelity National Financial, and Landstar System.

Yet another reason to consider moving to Jacksonville is the comprehensive schooling opportunities. Jacksonville is home to over 300 schools, 60 percent of them being public schools and the remainder being private schools. The city is also home to a wealth of higher learning opportunities with some of the most popular institutions being Jacksonville University, University of North Florida, and Florida Coastal School of Law.

Finally, no other city offers the unique flavors and thriving culinary scene that can be found in Jacksonville. If you’re a foodie, you’ll find much to enjoy in this Floridan city. The Jacksonville area even ranked on the Forbes list of five surprising foodie cities to visit. Jacksonville boasts a range of restaurants ranging from American eats to food trucks and fresh farm-to-table restaurants to seafood establishments. There’s always something new to try in Jacksonville!

If you’re looking for the perfect neighborhood to settle down in with your family in Jacksonville, Florida, there are an endless number of options to choose from. Some of the most popular neighborhoods in Jacksonville include Northside, Riverside, Southside, San Marco, The Beaches, and Orange Park. Each of these neighborhoods has something unique to offer residents and make for great places to call home in Jacksonville.

Moving Tips

Now that you know what makes Poseidon Moving and Storage the best team of long-distance and local movers in the country, it’s time to prepare for your move. Want a few moving tips to make the entire process easier? We have you covered! Our team of movers has come up with a couple of moving tips that you should do your best to remember during the process of moving to Jacksonville.

The first moving tip we can offer is to call the utility companies as soon as you’re sure that you will be moving. Cancelling your utilities at the place that you are moving from doesn’t take more than a few phone calls but, unfortunately, when you get so busy with all of the other aspects of moving, it can be easy to forget. You should tackle this task as soon as you have your new home’s address and this will mean that not only will this all-important task be out of the way early on but that you won’t forget to do it entirely.

Another moving tip that you should consider when moving to Jacksonville is to leave your clothes on the hanger when packing. It’s a lot of extra and unnecessary work to unhang clothes, fold them, and pack them in moving boxes. Why not just leave them on the hanger for moving and skip all of the unnecessary steps? Simply group your clothes together using garbage bags and get ready to transport them! Good luck!

Ky & his crew were amazing. Punctual, careful, friendly, and they had moving down to a science. They made sure to take care of all my furniture, wrap everything that I had not wrapped yet myself, and even double wrap everything that I had already attempted myself. 10/10 and will use again!!!

Highly recommend Poseidon for moving and storage, especially as a college student. Both admin and the moving teams were friendly and professional. All my items were returned in perfect condition and the moves themselves were very quickly executed despite not having an elevator and the weather being very hot..

Great Moving Company! The company was very professional. They were good to communicate and remind me through email of the move date and the timeframe to expect their arrival. They were also very responsive and communicative on move in day as to when they were going to be there and when they were 20 minutes out.
